Rose

The Ballad of Jack and Rose

There are a number of departments in which a film be accomplished and alone consitute a good and interesting viewing experience. While combined and much notable achievement in serveral of these will render a superb film; perfect execution in an overall flawed film, in regard to only the performances by actors or for example themes depcted, may as well prove two hours of one's time well-spent. American indie director Rebecca Miller's The Ballad of Jack and Rose succeds in portraying the issue of incestuous feelings between a father and his child, with enough depth and in a nuanced fashion, as did Nicole Kassel's The Woodsman before it regarding peadophilia. Daniel Day Lewis and Camilla Belle perfectly plays the father and daughter living alone on an island, formerly a commune, who struggles with their improper feelings for one another.

There's a moment in the film in which she explains:

-If you die, then I'm going to die.-If you die,there will have been no point to my liviing, he responds.
